First Ford GT rolls off the production line

Posted on 20 Dec 2016

Following years of anticipation and excitement Ford has announced that the first of the new Ford GT models have rolled off the production line at its production plant in Canada. Marking the start of a four year production cycle that has been extended due to the phenomenal demand that has been encountered, the orders at the top of the waiting list will soon be fulfilled.

Initially announced to be limited to 500 units, the number available is set to be now around double that. Following on from an announcement that the new GT will race in the World Endurance Championships for a four year period, Global Director of Ford Performance commented “While we can’t build enough Ford GTs for everyone who has applied, we are going to produce additional vehicles in an effort to satisfy more of our most loyal Ford ambassadors.”

Ford has also announced that the new GT model will be available in eight ‘bright’ colours as well as several themes that match the interior and racing stripe details. Talking about the themes available Ford Design Manager Barb Whalen stated: "We walked a fine line with the colour and materials in this vehicle – infusing energy through use of colour and balance while working to ensure the raw appeal of a performance car still shines through. Everything in the all-new Ford GT was intentionally designed to express ultimate performance.”

The latest Ford new car range is available to view and test drive today at Jennings Ford. For further information call 0333 414 9750 to speak to a member of the Ford team. Alternately, visit a Jennings Ford dealership in Gateshead, Middlesbrough or Stockton.
